A person in an orange sannyasi-style garment with long dark hair and a white garland stands at a wall, holding a brass oil lamp (aarti lamp) toward a framed portrait. The framed portrait, labelled with a printed copyright line, shows a smiling man in orange robes with a white bead necklace seated before a banyan tree trunk, one hand raised in blessing. The portrait is decorated with a garland of white, pink and red flowers, orange gerbera blooms and fern leaves. The scene suggests a devotional lamp offering before a photograph. The orange-robed figure is a person candidate by appearance: long swept hair and saffron clothing, with a white flower garland, though the face is turned away.
